HONES. 

Our advantages in filling Orders for Hones. — The way and manner as started by Mr. 
Knecht, Sr., a few years ago when in Europe, having the Hones undergo a close inspec- 
tion, before they leave the quarry (every single one) by one thus educated expert, has given 
us a great advantage and benefit in receiving nothing but selected goods. Our Hone trade 
is a large one, and we shall continue in employing all possible means to secure good Hones 
for our patrons. We can thus say we have better Hones to ofter than the ordinary mar- 
ket supply. 

Please give particulars with order as to grit, size and limited price. 

We have the Sw.aty R.^zor' Hones, Price $2.00, and sell these on their own merit.

GRINDING AND REPAIRING. 



Please Observe the Following Directions when Sending in Barbers' Cutlery for Grinding: 

Mail Packages. — Do not paste, nor seal, nor put in any writing. Write your name and 
address outside, and send instructions extra by letter, according to late postal regulations. 
Razors should be wrapped with thin, neat wire around before the paper wrapper is placed 
on. If a razor or shear is to be returned by mail, 5c postage must be added to the remit- 
tance for each or either of them. 

Express Packages. — You can put in letter with full address and instructions. It is the 
safest way to send by express. Packages of one Razor or Shears should be prepaid. 

PLEASE ATTACH YOUR ADDRESS TO ALL ORDERS AND PACKAGES YOU SEND FOR REPAIRS.

Clippers being in bad order, additional charges may be necessary. Grinding of Clip-

right. The newly invented machine for grinding Clippers, which we have, works like a 
charm.

As we are MECHANICS ourselves, we claim to do what is called "A No. 1 Work." 

Concaving of Razors in proper style is an art of itself, and ought to be placed in the 
hands of real mechanics only. 

WE DO NOT GRIND RAZORS DRY. 

Our establishment is systematically arranged, provided with the most practical and 
latest improvements and inventions of our own, so there is no need of unscrupulous puffs, 
calculated only for people who never look at real facts. 

We are Practical Cutlers. We grind and repair Tailors' Shears and other Cutlery.

The Chair is ahead of any other Barber Chair of same kind in the market. It com- 
bines beauty and durability, with exceeding comfort to the occupant and operator. The 
Chair reclines to convenient position for shaving, and by dropping the handle on right side 
of Chair, it turns or revolves wherever the Barber finds the suitable light and ease to shave. 
When the Chair is reclined for shaving the self -adjustable foot rest falls in position suitable 
for the occasion. The upholstering is first-class ; we use the best of Imported Plushes. 
Please notice the difference in price against other similar Revolving Chairs advertised by 
other dealers.

NO. 2. 

For prices and cut showing reclining iiosltlon see next page. 




FTg. 2. 

Placed in position for Hair Dressing. 

The design is entirely new. Frame made of solid Black Walnut, oil finish. The orna- 
mentation, which shows richness of effect, is produced by artistic engraving, gilt and ebon- 
ized finish. The Chair has the Automatic Foot Treadle, which can not be used by any 
other manufacturer. The Chairs upholstered with Plush and Moquette, have Nickel- 
Plated Trimmings. The material used for upholstering is of the very best quality. 

SPECIAL NOTICE.— I would respectfully solicit my Tonsorial friends to call and 
examine the Reclining Barber Chair whenever convenient for them to do so, and be con- 
vinced of its superiority. It is impossible to illustrate the Chair to its proper advantage, or 
explain all parts in the proper light. Those that have them in use speak of them in the 
highest praise. Solid comfort for the occupant, and convenient and easy working for the 
Barber. Would also call your attention to the improved Hair Cutting Chair (upholstered), 
and the Boot Blacking Chair, which is a great convenience to the boot-black, an ornament 
and advertisement for your shop. See pages 72 and 73.

Figure 1. — Showing the Chair in a reclining position for shaving. 

With Improved Revolving root-Rest. 

Permit me to call your attention to the patent foot-rest, which gives this new improved 
pattern a great advantage over the Reclining Chairs advertised in other catalogues. There 
is no more tilting or tipping in with a person's foot when stepping on the foot-stool. All 
parts are secure and perfectly safe. This, our Reclining Chair of to-day, is a useful novelty 
to have in the shop. Please notice also the difference in price for the Plush and Carpet- 
covered Reclining Chair. 

Price of Chairs. 

Covered with best Mohair Plush, crimson or green, nickel-plated trimmings $36 00 

Covered with best Tapestry Brussels Carpet, crimson or green, bronze trimmings. . 30 00 
Barbers will please compare foot-rest on above Chair with that of other Reclining 
Chairs advertised, and observe the perfect safety when persons get in the Chair ; the foot- 
rest has sufficient support. Customers having short legs may conveniently rest their feet 
on the platform.

ARCHER'S PATENT ADJUSTABLE BARBER CHAIR, NO. 5. 

ROCHE8TEK, N. Y. 




(Patented May 21, 1878.) 

The above style Barber Chair is made of iron, of beautiful design, and tastefully or- 
namented with gilding. It is adjusted to the position necessary for shaving, by placing the 
foot on the treadle at the rear, which releases the segment, and allows the seat and back to 
be tilted to any desired angle. As will be seen, the Chair and Foot-rest are combined, 
thereby making it a firm and strong Chair. It has rollers under the front legs to facilitate 
the moving of the Chair about the room. It is the most handsome design, and withal the 
best low-priced Adjustable Barber Chair ever offered to the trade. It is well upholstered, 
with steel springs in the seat, and the best of materials, and covered with Carpet or Plushes; 
wood-work finished in Walnut or ebonized Cherry.

NOISELESS BARBER CHAIR, TILTING (MOVEMENT) 
MACHINERY. 

Patented October 4, 1887. 




The above illustrates our late invented Noiseless Tilting Machine, which is acknowledged 
the best ever put on a Barber Chair. It can be stopped at any intermediate point ; no 
waiting for certain notches (which are sometimes an inch or more apart), to check the Chair. 
There are no notches or cogs to cause a constant rattle after using a short time. It is noise- 
less, and will stop exactly where you want it without danger of slipping, which is so com- 
mon with other machines. 

Our machine is new, introduced only a year ago, but a great many are now in use and 
heartily endorsed by experts of the Tonsorial art. The mechanism is simple and easily 
understood ; there is nothing to get out of order. All our National Barber Chairs, Nos. 1, 
2, 5, 7 and 9 are provided with this machine. •

BARBER POLES.— CONTINUED. 

" A well assorted Stock of Barber Poles is kept on hand in 
our Salesroom.' 



After many experiments, we have come to the conclusion that 
Poles turned from a dry and solid cedar beam stand exposure to the 
weather far better than those made of hollow ordinary pine wood. 

We turn out quite a number of Poles, and many are to be found 
on the streets of Chicago and elsewhere 

The first attraction of a well fitted up Barber Shop is a good nice 
Pole. 

Our painter is an artist in his line. Nothing but the best material 
is used ; the balls and rings are gilded with pure gold leaf. The 
colors on our Poles keep their bright appearance for several years. 

Our No. 5 Pole is octagon in center, with raised g\\^&A. stars. (See 
illustrations.) A splendid and showy pattern.

BATH ROOM FIXTURES. 

VVilks' ll<-:it«-r for IJatli Kooin. 

These cuts show the respective position of 
the Cold Water Tank, Boiler and Heaters. 
In case you want us to furnish pipe and fit- 
tings please give us a plan and detailed 
description of the room by diagram, stating 
height, width and length, and how the fixtures 
are to be placed. 





COLD WATER TANK. 



Made from select 
Common Pine, and 
well supported and 
secured by strong 
iron hoops. 



The 100, 200 and 300 gallon Wooden 
Tanks can be shipped as they are. The 
larger sizes are better shipped knocked 
down (taken apart) on account of the 
lower charges for transportation. In ship- 
ping knocked down, all pieces are plainly 
marked, so they can easily be put together. 
No extra charge for boxing, etc.

If there' IS no water-works in your city you need the following fixtures : 1st, a wooden 
cold water tank ; 2d, an iron tank or boiler ; 3d, a heater ; 4th, bath tubs. Connect the 
heater with the iron tank or boiler (see cut), run a pipe from the top of tank to the cold 
water supply ; hot water is drawn off from the iron tank to the bath tubs, a separate pipe 
for cold water being needed from the main water supply (wooden tank) to bath tubs We 
cut and thread the iron pipes to order, and set all up in our workshop, if details are given, 
so It does not absolutely require a professional plumber to bring the articles in place and iii 
workmg order. 

Above illustrations show Wilks' Bathroom Heater, which has been found reliable and 
used for many years past. They are made of heavy boiler iron seairely riveted. Each 
Heater can be relied upon to furnish the amount of hot water stated. They combine 
safety with durability and economy. Persons in attendance should not fire the Heater 
while empty of water, nor let cold water in while Heater is hot. The illustration on bottom 
of next page on left side shows the small Heater, not self-feeder. Upper part is a heavy 
portion of the smoke pipe, with feed door, which we furnish with the Heater. The illus- 
tration to the right on bottom of next page shows the large size self-feeder, with damper 
chain and improved top for pipe connections. Our Wilks' Heaters have e.xperienced many 
improvements of late. 

Outfits for one Bath Tub, including Wilks' Heater (size 10x18), 30-gallon boiler two 
Fuller Bibbs, and one zinc Bath Tub. Total cost, $45.50. 

For prices of Heaters, see bottom of next .page. For Bath Tubs, Galvanized Iron 
Boiler, Pipe and Fittings, see next page.

WRITE FOR SPECIAL CATALOGUE. 

We furnish on application special catalogue 
illustrating and describing every particular of a// 
sizes, of "The Triumph" Hot Water Boilers. 
These Boilers are the strongest and best in use. 




Cut uf size No. 0. 



SectliJiial Cut (il ,siz(^ No. 1 
without magazine. 



The No. 1 Hot-Water Boiler, sectional cut of which is shown on this page, consists of 
two hollow ring-shaped castings and a cast-iron water front connected by a series of wrought- 
iron tubes arranged in a circle and surrounded by a heavy iron jacket. The two rings the 
water front under fuel door and the vertical pipes contain the water, and all come in direct 
contact with the fire, making the heating surface unusually effective. Each heater is pro- 
vided with an ash box, shaking and dumping grate, and with damper in smoke pipe collar 
ihe smoke flue is fitted for six inch pipe. 

The No. Boiler differs from the No. 1, in that the fluel door is at the top of boiler 
and inplace of the water front there are vertical tubes. The smoke collar is fitted for five 
inch pipe.
